Well... it was pretty much my fault, I went to cross rt 4 after a semi went by, and as i pulled out i realized there was a truck right behind that semi, my front bumper absorbed most of the impact, but the frame twisted and snaped and cracked when it got smacked. All the bumper has is some smalls dents but the shock that jolted the jeep pretty much scrambled everything else... funny though, I've gone about 7yrs with nothing on my record and I was just thinking the day before it happend how fortunate I was that nothing has happend... and then it hit me...

So happy to hear you are ok - I know you loved that vehicle but it is just metal.

Wow - as for buying back and parts - my son or a friend - I forget the story bought back the motorcycle he totaled (and thankfully both he and his wife were ok)........and did something parting it out.

Most companies want their pay out back and could care less about the parts - but those who want the parts hate to see them go to the crusha.....

and the carcass is already gone... (but I saved a few things... the roof rack, the bumper, the spare tire, and the owners manual. I'm going to use the manual for a symbolic cremation and then go spread the ashes atop hedgehog hill.)

I really shouldn't be posting, this is a moment for Hiram...or what's left of him...

But I don't want to get left behind from the TL 2008 trip:

I CALL THE BABY SEAT!!!

...or I can ride with FFJ and make him laugh as I weeble wobble all about!

May the white jeep RIP, and thank God Hiram didn't commit suicide after losing his GPS and Jeep!!

...and I see it coming, so I'll put your curiosity aside before Hiram gets any more hits (pun intended): I was not in the Jeep at the time of the accident, therefore: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
